Surely there’s an inbred-11 fingers joke in here somewhere…

JackFrostNCola ,

Fuck the US and any other governments that are doing this dodgy shit that requires whistleblowing in the first place.

JackFrostNCola ,

Ok sir, step this way for your ‘vitamin’ shot.

JackFrostNCola ,

For me its the Borderlands series & portal 2.

Yes McDonald’s tastes the same but the menu can change wildly, with a definite sway towards local tastes for menu item variations.

Watch: Adobe angers artists with new Photoshop terms (techcrunch.com)

Artists got an unpleasant surprise when they opened Photoshop this week, as they were shown a pop-up window asking them to agree to new terms of service. Among the changes: Adobe now says it has the right to access customers’ content through “automated or manual methods.”...

Speaking of which, only americans call it ‘legos’ right?

Pretty much what it sounds like, where people who listen to a certain type/sound of music tend to enjoy it at live events by just low key looking down and slowly shuffling or bobbing their head to show their appreciation (rather than headbanging, moshing, etc.) there is a genre called ‘shoegaze’ which pretty much encompasses this kinda scene.

JackFrostNCola ,

Well TIL, thanks. I always associated it with the kids who would listen to like deftones and dance like that

Do you not get cricket or T20 in particular?

To put it simply, cricket is taking turns to bat/bowl where one team ‘bowls’ : where everyone spreads out on the field and on person bowls the ball down the pitch at the current batter.
The other team ‘bats’ : two players are in the centre of the field and try to hit the ball. After hitting the ball, the batters will run between each end of the pitch and each time they cross over and make it to the other end this is counted as a ‘run’, however if they manage to hit the ball out of the field boundary - if its in the air: automatic 6 runs, or after a bounce/along the ground: automatic 4 runs).
The batters can get ‘out’ by 1. They miss hitting the ball and the ball hits the wickets (wooden poles) behind them. 2. They hit the ball and it is caught on the full (before it bounces). 3. They hit the ball, but while they are running between the ends of the pitch one of the fielding team throws the ball at the wickets whilst the batter is still out of the ‘crease’ (safe zone at each end, like a baseball base). 4. Blocking the ball from hitting the wickets with their body (usually leg), but only IF it was going to hit the wicket if they didnt block the ball.
Once 10 of the 11 players on the batting team are out, the batting & bowling team swap sides and then the winner is the one with the most runs made by the end of the day/days depending on the type of match.

There are some other technical rules and aspects but thats it in a nutshell, but you can see why it would be a slow game where batters try keep the game at their pace to not be rushed and be calculating with when they want to take risks or big shots.

Which is where T20 comes in, each team gets 20 ‘overs’ each (an over is a set of 6 bowls from the bowling side, so 20 overs is 120 individual bowls at the batters). After 20 overs, or all players on the batting side getting out, the teams swap sides. T20 changes the game from a couple batters holding on as long as they can (which can be hours to over a day each for the better batters on each team) to the batters taking big risks - big swings, more 6’s and 4’s, more risky runs up & down the pitch because they dont have the time for strategic & slow methodical gameplay. This makes the games last only a couple hours total, usually played at night with more intensity & excitement + pyrotechnics, colorful outfits, more energetic commentary, etc.

TL:DR - Cricket is like baseball but played on a much bigger field, instead of running between bases they run up and back down the pitch, each player only gets the one ‘out’ per game and the whole team gets out before they swap sides.

18°C, drizzle & thunderstorms.
But live in a city in Australia that has clear skies 70% of the year, and an average of about 24 annual days of rain.

No you shut your whore mouth.

Some of us rely on windows only software and dont have the option to run linux or other OS’s

I would go as far to say that most ‘peoples brains’ dont remember new names well, unless there is a strong emotion tied to the meeting of a new person (hate, fear, infatuation, etc) then its easy to forget what someone said by the time you have made some introductory small talk and moved on to a conversation topic or had to break off the conversation and go elsewhere.
I find i either have to have somebody else say their name a lot for it to stick or i mentally break off from the conversation when i can get away with it and in mind find a way of remembering their name with a trick like associating it with a similar sounding word, or a famous actor with the same/similar name, etc.

JackFrostNCola ,

Agreed. The way i took it was “i am going to write ‘questions’ based on the concerns people are commenting online and give the answers to those things people are interested/worried about”

Finger sweatbands for epic googling activities

JackFrostNCola ,

I keep hearing stories about falling birth rates, USA, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and on and on.
The articles often pose many questions about why younger generations dont seem to care about having kids, but very few articles actually say the real reasons:

  • Being able to afford a house or stable long term rent without either option competing for money to buy food or other essentials
  • Further to this the cost of a child once you can get by with enough money for the above
  • Climate change & future conditions for their children anxiety

The Factorio one reminded me of trying to get to sleep only to start building elaborate underpasses and routes in my mind for hidden redstone circuits in Minecraft.

Maybe the potions are finally wearing off

What if they were to have a rule such as 'if a state vetoes a bill that has like 90+% support 3 consecutive times, then they will be unable to veto the bill the 4th time. That way if its obvious all the other people agree on something to hold that strong a majority its not indefinite.

JackFrostNCola ,

Or Fractional composition scenes?

JackFrostNCola ,

Your saying those crafty englishmen colonised, raped & pillaged everything down to the very words from everyone they encountered?

JackFrostNCola ,

Make it output only DC and watch it churn!

JackFrostNCola ,

Lego is the only correct version though, it is defined by the company that created it so its not ‘open to interpretation’ imo.

JackFrostNCola ,

Even worse now is the non-alcoholic spirits you can buy that legit cost as much as the original alcoholic version, and then they use that in a cocktail.
Yes it Does taste just like the proper cocktail but your kinda missing half the point of the drink…

JackFrostNCola ,

Thats probably just an accidental association/linking by your brain. When we learn new things our brain creates neural pathways and these become ‘memory’. If there is something that you learn and at the same time it happened to be when you moved to a new house, were on holiday at a different place or perhaps when you met a new person, your brain may go 'you learned this new thing and that place/person/smell/emotion was also there so i will ‘save this’ together as part of the same memory.
Its like playing a game from your childhood reminding you of the music you were listening to at the time you played it, or a skill you learned reminding you of that awesome dinner you grandma cooked because she was staying with your family at the time.

Also when there is strong emotion involved with a memory (excitement, sadness, anger, the first time you kissed someone, etc) then you brain says ‘this is very important’ and you remember a lot more detail, like the smell of someones perfume and the red car that was parked on the street.

JackFrostNCola ,

Yeah but then all the NPCs outside wouldnt have lara croft triangle titties

JackFrostNCola ,

Layla is also pretty good imo.

JackFrostNCola ,

Certain genres have different themes i find.
For example i think most ‘metalcore’ songs i listen to are about emotional or addiction struggles, anger at society/moral injustices, inspirational (yes really, overcoming obstacles and living a happier life), life experiences and oddly a lot of christian bands in the genre.

JackFrostNCola ,

I think Johnny Cash’s cover of ‘Hurt’ is probably the gold standard of a cover exceeding the origional

JackFrostNCola ,

Literally New Game+

  • Start fresh with no ongoing quests for income
  • Getting quests is harder due to higher speech check requirements
  • Certain quests will now be permanently locked-out
  • Some NPCs are now default passive-hostile due to certain achievements you now have in your catalogue
  • Start at a higher level but stats on paper are lower levelled so you will have to compete for lower level bounties
JackFrostNCola ,

Its in reference to him coming back to life and leaving prison with the new life situation he is in

That ‘y’ has pissed me off since i was a child. I was always baffled as to why it was spelt Disnep but pronounced Disney, especially while learning digraphs at school and it didnt fit in with any of the sounds the letter combinations were supposed to make.

JackFrostNCola ,

Why is there no paper or bidets…

JackFrostNCola ,

Would a person be a single issue voter if Trump being the president was the issue? 🤔

JackFrostNCola ,

In the form of a question please

JackFrostNCola ,

I use DDG but i do wonder what i dont see sometimes.
I often google a specific brand of components at work and even with the exact brand and/or part number in the search it sometimes doesnt turn up any results (say 5-7 random unrelated webpages) and thats it. Then i put the same search in google and bam, top result.

JackFrostNCola ,

“what are they going to do, kill all of us?” - dead whistleblower

JackFrostNCola ,

Well they did make chin-diapers fashionable during the whole ‘i ain’t complying with your public heath and safety mind control bullshit’ during mask mandates.

JackFrostNCola ,

See this comment: sh.itjust.works/comment/11323676 on an alternate thread to this same discussion which gives a great run down of AM & FM radio systems.

Probably because boneappletea is meant to be unintended phrases not word play

JackFrostNCola ,

There is no such thing as a free service.

People need to eat, bills need to be paid, shelter needs to be provided and unless people can have these at no expense and create things for pure passion & share for others to enjoy then they need the means to pay for these things.

The internet has whittled this down to a few basic models:

  • Pay the service directly for the content (subscriptions or 1 time purchases)
  • ‘Free’ content and they serve you ads which they are paid for by companies trying to sell something to you
  • ’Free’ content and they sell every bit of data they can scrape from you to companies which are again, trying to sell something to you.

If you could find a way to do anything without having to pay for our human needs then would it be a trillion dollar idea or would money be meaningless now when people wouldnt need it to live & enjoy their lives?

JackFrostNCola ,

Imagine if all it took was someone with a disease to stroll through congress one day and wipe out those past the best before date

JackFrostNCola ,

Who, that hacker guy?

“He’s not all there” is the most basic version of this saying.

“He’s got a few tools missing from the shed” is an aussie version too.

Not the sharpest crayon in the bunch?

I thought republicans were too busy stopping people from aborting life threatening medical situations to stop the ‘hippies’ from having their happy herbs.
